Art at Galmpton

We believe that at Galmpton our Art subject offer is unique. By teaching Art through our learning journey, we allow children a more immersive experience in the subject that deepens children’s cultural and self- understanding. Children at Galmpton explore drawing, painting, sculpture, textiles and printing through an extended block teaching rather than a small snippet of time set aside every week. This allows our pupils to develop confidence in their skills through immediate feedback and refinement, and deepens their knowledge of art, artists and the culture surrounding them. Teaching art through engaging enquiry questions allows for Art outcomes that children can not only explain the elements needed for creation, but also the intent and purpose of each step of the journey. We believe above all our Art offering allows all children become creative artists.
